Love it! This is so warm and gentle and sweet.

Thank you! Strawberry is a very sweet and gentle kitty, and Frodo is a sweet and gentle hobbit, so it kind of wrote itself.

I loved this. So domestic and you kept us guessing at the person's identity until almost the end.

I was trying to keep it as much in a cat POV as I could, and I don't really think names mean much to them. But the ambivalence kind of helped the story, I think.

I like that, nice and peaceful.
And that bit about "the one with a missing claw on its paw" is neat.

I was trying to keep this as much as I could in Strawberry's POV, so I tried to think how she might see it.

I was in a nice and peaceful mood, thanks to my own kitty!

I like strawberry. Great job on the challenge. I like the difference between the feel of Frodo and Sam's hand. Nice contrast.
